Strong contender
FragDNA score · on paper
The review
Strong contender. That is where Azonto Inspired lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Bal d'Afrique.
Montagne Parfums lists 9 of the 12 notes in Bal d'Afrique's pyramid — amalfi lemon, african marigold, bergamot, neroli and violet and more. What it does not list: black currant, amber and cedar; and it adds cedarwood of its own.
Strength: parfum, among the most concentrated formats a dupe comes in.
Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.
